The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, herbal, cinnamon, dry oaky, warm alcohol, sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle shared with Iggywh. Somewhat amber color, small to average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, vanilla indeed, cinnamon in the background, don't get bourbon. Maybe there's a hint of it in the aftertaste but not very clearly. Carbonation is a bit fizzy and alcoholic though so there might be some bourbon notes in the alcohol coming through but not really in the flavor. Body is decent. Overall, hmm, not really a successful experiment imo. Just continue to brew good beers, don't start to do weird things. Base beer is not good enough to carry the additives, and balance is lost, just one big mess.
